Hey Bernd! Maybe it is the same with the claimed 630HP Twin Turbo Supra
(running at 23psi) and then watch the engine blow a hole through the hood.
He Claiming is one thing - real is another. Meaning: I can drive it everyday
not just once.

Anything is possible with the right amount if Nitrous...but i'd love to see
how their teeny little axle shafts holdl up to the abuse. (Seen too many of
the just break and roll down the track.)

Subject: DML: Rice Races
This coming Friday night a couple of my friends and I are going to a local
rice rocket race. The guys that have been there before claim that the rice
burners can reach up to 160 mph on nitros. I think it is a bunch of bull
but I'll have to wait and see. Of course I'll take my Dak, and one of my
friends is taking down his 85 Camaro, so I don't think we will have that
much of a problem. The stakes are pretty high though, $25 to race, overall
winner gets the pot. The only thing I don't get is, that instead of a 1/4
mile, they race 3 miles and go for top speed.
So, do any of you think I should even try?
